Health Professionals in North Carolina
I became a registered dietitian in 2010 and most recently earned my CDCES (Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist) credential to support clients with prediabetes and diabetes. I have dedicated my professional career to helping people improve their relationship with food and manage their health conditions. I stay current with the latest research to better equip my clients with the knowledge and tools they need for personal success. With that said, it’s all about personalization and no one-size-fits-all approach. I do not believe in restrictive diets or eliminating foods you love, but discovering the joy of healthy eating.

Do you have a health challenge that you've struggled to overcome...even with medical help? Sometimes it seems like achieving great digestion, hormone balance, and high energy may be impossible to achieve...and that prospect can be daunting. As a Dietitian Nutritionist with additional expertise in Functional Medicine, I approach healthcare differently. I find and address root causes, provide individualized, realistic plans, and support you along your journey. The result is healthcare actually makes you healthier.

I am extremely passionate about helping those who struggle with disordered eating, active eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and I also have a soft spot for athletes as I was a captain on my Division I softball team. I understand that navigating wellness in a world that praises toxic diet culture, overcomplicates everything, and spreads an overwhelming amount of misinformation is TOUGH to do solo. I love nothing more than demonstrating to my clients that there is a way to live life BEYOND obsessing over food.

With over 14 years of experience as a registered dietitian, I see food as a powerful tool and medicine for healing and wellness. My whole body holistic approach to nutrition emphasizes overall well-being, respecting diverse dietary preferences, and encouraging the inclusion of more plant-based foods, whether they become a primary focus or simply complement a balanced diet. I’m here to help you learn how to incorporate these foods, as well as the ones you enjoy, to support your health goals.

Acupuncture is for someone who is open to receiving treatment and is committed to their personal health and growth. It is important that a person who receives acupuncture is willing to put the time and effort into healing his or her body through alternative medicine. Acupuncture has amazing healing properties and takes equal efforts on both the acupuncturist’s and the client’s part to maximize treatment success. I treat a wide variety of health issues such as pain, anxiety, infertility, food sensitivities, and seasonal allergies. I also specialize in pediatric health issues for infants to adolescents.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary therapy, herbal medicine, needling, cupping, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of nuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.
